Let's go for a walk

I'm hopped up on steroids and I have to tell you I can't even believe how unbelievable this is. That's a dumb sentence. I just mean, I mean, I crossed a page of "to do" items off my work list, I've done four loads of laundry, I cooked a vegan(ish) lentil soup (fat-free chicken stock has less sodium than vegetable stock...who knew?), I baked some more vegan cranberry/apple bread, I walked (did not run even though I really really wanted to) the Brunswick bike path, I brought a pile of laundry that has been sitting in the corner of the room gathering dust--I'm serious, it was dusty--to the dry cleaner, and now I'm sitting in my little home office, eyes wide open, sneakers still on, realizing I have to take two more of those little steroid tablets before I go to bed tonight. I may never sleep again. I am literally vibrating.

And, I forgot to eat the damn soup.

All right. I just took a quick walk up the stairs and down again. Fifteen times. I'm good. I can sit. But, my brain is moving too fast to write. I took some pictures along my walk today because it was a pretty day and it feels like I have company on my walk if I take pictures knowing I'll probably post them here.

Hunh I was made for social media. A total extravert but I don't want to actually interact with people face-to-face.

Moving on. For breakfast today, I ate fat-free plain yogurt (thanks Stonyfield) with honey, a banana, and some low-fat granola (thanks Bob's Red Mill even though you're not local but MoMunch doesn't make a low-fat granola...yet). Then I ate an apple for second breakfast. Then I had a slice of whole wheat bread (thanks When Pigs Fly for not using this stuff) with vegan butter (thanks Earth Balance) for first lunch lunch. Then I had another slice of the same thing. Then a soy latte (thanks Little Dog) for snack. Then a piece of cranberry/apple bread (thanks Vegan Cooking for Carnivores) for snack while making supper. Then some leftover bowtie pasta with spinach, chickpeas, and raisins (thanks Mayo Clinic, can't wait to try your prescription for barley and roasted tomato risotto) for second supper because I forgot to eat the lentil soup I made and is still sitting on the stove. Then a wee faux ice cream sandwich (thanks So Delicious even though you're not local and I'm sure I'll hear something bad about you at some point and I'll have to stop eating your foods like I had to stop eating Kashi waffles [thank you very much for reporting on that Cornucopia Institute] because they use GMOs and I don't really know what that is anyway).

Wow. I had vegan Thanksgiving today. Okay. Noted. Steroids make me snacky.

For exercise, I've been

Don't you want to sit here...

...right next to the highway...

 ...with a little bit of history...

...but seriously you're next to the highway...

....and still you get this gorgeous view?
